“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.”
King James Version (KJV)
21:1 The kings - He names kings not to exclude other men, but because they are more arbitrary and uncontrollable than others. As rivers - Which husband - men draw by little channels into the adjacent grounds as they please.
21:4 The plowing - Even their civil or natural actions, which in themselves are lawful, are made sinful as they are managed by ungodly men, without any regard to the glory of God, which ought to be the end of all our actions.
Euery way of a man is right in his owne eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
